That's a good question. I'm also a noob. When I had my Wrangler I would put it in 4L when backing into my driveway, which is on a steep decline.
I got that suggestion from a forum member who had a manual like mine, so as to not wear your clutch out. Sometime, I could get it just right...
No disrespect taken, I agree wholeheartedly. I never been to or driven in LA, just heard about it.
I've also driven in different places. Naples Italy and NYC were the scariest, but ATL is just different.
I thought it was because there are a bunch of people here from different places, and that...
I'm back to the BB again for now. After going over it again, I think I'll be ok with the BB with rear locker, aux switches.and modular top. The wash out floors on the BD are nice but not an absolute need.
I almost glad it will be awhile before the Broncos are delivered. it gives me a chance to...
I'm daily driving, but would like to hit some easy trails, but no heavy rock crawling. I had always wanted to do something in my jeep. I'd be interested in hitting some dunes also, that looks really fun.
I mainly want a fun vehicle to drive around in all kinds of weather and circumstances...
Is that for the 4DR? I ask because when I did the survey the black modular top was available for $1900. I did the survey like I was buying a 2DR. Black Diamond.
That 12" screen does look nice sitting in the dash. :)
The three things I really want for my 2DR Bronco are, aux switches, modular top, and locking rear diff.
All the other stuff is nice, but not something I have to have. Even the base Bronco comes with more than my jeep had, other than the bigger tires.
I've played with Ford's B&P in the past...
I also haven't decided. I'm still leaning toward BB, but thinking about BD as well. The Bronco was never going to be my main fun weekend vehicle, I have my M2 for that.
It"s going to be my daily driver to work and run around town car, just like my Jeep was. I do want to go off road some, but...
I got the email, I thought I was on to something until I found this merged thread LOL. You've all covered just about everything. I realize any direction I go I'm spending a little more than planned. Oh well.
I guess I see it differently. I didn't agree with everything they said, but It's not bothering me to the level it seems to be with some of you.
I think you all should take their videos with a grain of salt. I think they made some valid points, but also said some things for entertainment value...
I'll be watching this thread, and I bookmarked Granger's website. I emailed the dealer I have my reservation with, about ADM and X-plan and have heard nothing as of yet. The dealer is Alan Vigil.
It's sort of my fault, because they emailed me a month ago not long after I reserved my Bronco...
Lot's of opinions here, and I've heard a lot of the arguments before. (There's some truth to some of it according to my mother who worked for Ford on the assembly line.).
I will just say it's wasn't a deciding factor for me, but I'm glad it is being built in the U.S.A.
Both my parents...
I didn't look that much at the BD at the beginning and didn't realize it had the aux switches and rear locker standard. Those are the two options I wanted to add to the BB. The washout interior with drain plugs were just icing on the cake, and the rock rails & upgraded bash plates are above what...
I planned on getting the 2.3, but not so sure now. I haven't owned any late model Ford for a long period of time.
I has a 17 Focus RS and loved it. That car had the dreaded head gasket issue and I had to have my cylinder head replaced, along with the correct gasket installed under warranty...
Living near Atlanta, I've seen all kind of jeep configurations. At my job I see several lifted Jeeps, & trucks that often give a noob like me ideas on what to get LOL.
Most of the lifted vehicles are nicely detailed and clean.
Every once in awhile, and very rarely; I'll see a jeep or 4 runner...
I'm still on board with the BB for now, but it will depend how things look after the build & price it up. The Black Diamond has all the stuff I was going to option on the BB and a little more. It may be worth the extra 3k.
